Distributor control rod removal

[shew01]

I need to remove the distributor. Les Andrews, page 1-101, says, “Disconnect advance control rod from distributor upper plate arm.”

How does this come apart?

The ends of the control rods are internally spring loaded. Pull to lengthen enough to release the ball on the distributor plate arm.
The reproduction control arms will fight you.

THANK YOU!!!!!! This was so counter-intuitive to me. I would never have guessed that the linkage could “stretch.”

The captures on the last replacement rod I got needed to be fitted to the balls on both ends. Your balls may vary.

Simple, when you know how.
